I had Ryzhov last semester and did not know what to expect because there was only one two-star review. I was pleasantly surprised when taking the course. The exams are fair, formula sheet allowed, and very similar to the practice. The final exam was fully open-note. Medians for exams hover around 70-80%, and the final exam had a median of 82. Ryzhov is a good lecturer and explains concepts in depth. There was one assignment a week, and one team project, which all took around 2-3 hours to complete. I would highly recommend. |

He's a good professor and gives pretty good lectures. The exams are very fair and are similar to the practice exams he gives out. He lets you have a cheat sheet for the midterms and the final is open notes. The homework may take a little time but if you go to a TA you should be fine. |

He's a good person and a decent professor, but his lectures are really boring and difficult to understand. The homework is also very hard; you will spend hours completing it, and you will most likely attend office hours every week for them. He will help you if you attend his office hours, but the class is just not worth it. The regular class is a lot easier compared to this one. You won't be allowed to use a calculator on the exams and your answers have to be in Excel formulas. |

This class and professor are just not it. The normal business statistics class is so much better. Sure, you learn a bit of how to use Excel and R, but most of it you learn on your own. You will spend hours upon hours every week working on homework, and if you don't go to office hours every week and do not have friends in the class, good luck you have no chance. Ryzhov basically enjoys your failure in your class. Exams are hard and average is always below 70% with a bit of a curve, but it's gonna tank your grade every time. Most important thing is there are only letter grades in this class, no plus or minus, no rounding, nothing. This is GPA tanker and if you are in honors, don't take this it's not worth it. |
